It is one thing to judge a book by its cover, but how about buying
books by judging its title? Although, many are now considered
classics, how many of the following would you have passed up in the
bookshop?
- TRIMALCHIO IN WEST EGG (The Great Gatsby -- Scott
Fitzgerald)
- MULES IN HORSE HARNESS (Gone with the wind -- Margaret
Mitchell)
- THE EYE AND THE EAR (A Movable Feast -- Ernest
Hemingway)
- THE SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION OF FREDERICK HENRY(A Farewell to
Arms -- Ernest Hemingway)
- TWILIGHT (The Sound and the Fury -- William Faulkner)
Conversely, how many book have bombed because the publishers
chose a wrong 'title'? We'll never know, will we?
